The Breguet Marine 5517 and Rolex Yacht-Master are both luxury sports watches, but neither name identifies just one specification. The Marine 5517 comes in different case, dial and bracelet configurations; Yacht-Master models span 37, 40 and 42 mm and multiple metals. A useful comparison starts with the exact reference: the featured Breguet 5517BR/Y2/RZ0 is a 40 mm rose-gold watch, while Rolex reference 126622 is a 40 mm Oystersteel-and-platinum example.

Yacht-Master: three sizes and multiple metals
The Rolex US catalog lists 37, 40 and 42 mm Yacht-Master models and several material choices. Reference 126622 is a specific 40 mm Oystersteel-and-platinum model; it should not stand in for the full range. Rolex US catalog · Rolex brochure, reference 126622

Case diameter alone cannot establish which watch will fit better. Thickness, lug span, bracelet shape and the wearer’s wrist all affect how a watch sits; the available published figures here do not settle that question. Trying the exact reference on is the practical way to judge fit.
Movement, power reserve and daily display
What is specified for the Marine 5517
Breguet lists its automatic calibre 777A with a 55-hour power reserve, 4 Hz frequency, 235 components and a flat silicon balance spring. Its manual says the watch runs for approximately 55 hours after full winding when unworn. Breguet product page · Breguet manual

What the cited Yacht-Master brochure establishes
The brochure for 126622 specifies a date with rapid setting, a Chromalight display and Rolex Superlative Chronometer certification. It does not provide a power-reserve figure in the cited material. The certification is a published credential, not a comparative accuracy result against the 777A; no like-for-like independent accuracy data is established here. Rolex brochure, reference 126622
Design, bezel and bracelet preferences
The Marine 5517 uses maritime details that are more distinctive than a generic three-hand description suggests: the seconds-hand counterweight resembles a maritime signal flag bearing the Breguet initial, the crown has wave motifs, and the sapphire caseback reveals an oscillating weight inspired by a rudder. Breguet describes the watch as having a three-hand display with a calendar aperture at 3 o’clock. Breguet Marine 5517 product page
Rank #3
- Pre-Loved Condition: Excellent; Light scratching to crystal and case
- Made in Switzerland
- Oyster clasp closure
- Signature upon delivery required
The 126622 brochure identifies an Oystersteel bracelet and a 5 mm Easylink comfort extension. These features are specific to that reference, not a statement about every Yacht-Master. The cited materials do not establish a direct bezel comparison, so decide whether the bezel treatment suits you by viewing and trying the exact models rather than assuming one family-wide design. Rolex brochure, reference 126622
Water resistance: read the qualification, not just the number
Breguet’s manual specifies 10 bar (100 m) for the Marine 5517 when its crown is screwed in. That nominal rating alone is not a blanket recommendation for a particular water activity; follow the manufacturer’s instructions and confirm the condition of the specific watch. The cited Rolex brochure does not state a water-resistance figure for reference 126622, so this material does not support a numerical comparison between the two.

The cited Breguet listing sends customers to points of sale instead of showing a price. That means the available figures do not support a direct price verdict between the featured rose-gold Marine 5517 and a particular Yacht-Master.

Which one makes more sense for you?
- Choose the Marine 5517 if the specific 5517 configuration’s maritime detailing, blue hand-finished dial and calibre 777A specifications are the draw—and its case material and bracelet suit your preferences.
- Consider a Yacht-Master if you want to choose among 37, 40 and 42 mm sizes and several metals, or prefer the features documented for reference 126622, including its Oystersteel bracelet, rapid-setting date and Easylink extension.
- Before deciding, compare exact references for dimensions, material, bracelet, bezel, dial and local price. Try the watches on if wrist fit is central; published diameters cannot predict how each will wear on you.
